I completed an internship in commercial real estate, and I also attended a couple of local REIA meetings/networking events before moving to Northern VA.I was able to narrow down potential strategies, and I figured both BRRR as well as wholesaling don't seem to be the best strategies for me.

Looking forward to sharing and networking. 

Investing in AZ, NV, ID, where you have family or friends that is a day away and you can start to build a network and team to help manage a property.  

NETWORK!!!

Also interested in networking to learn more about my personal interest in STR's primarily in the Tampa, Bradenton, and Sarasota markets along with other southeast coastal and mountain markets. 

Hey, I’m looking to connect and network with private individuals who lend money on real estate deals.

If you build your investor network while working on wholesaling skills, when you find a real deal you can sell it for a profit.

In addition to those I would also suggest making a commitment to going to local meet ups and networking events in your area.

Start small, refine your process, and use your network to connect with local investors and seasoned professionals for guidance.Good luck!
